Beaconsfield Girls Rugby - Beaconsfield Belles

This is the first year where Beaconsfield Rugby Football Club have run rugby for girls over the age of twelve.

Provision is made in the rugby continuum published by the RFU for girls to play alongside boys in teams up to Under 12's. After this time they need to find a girls only team/group to train with.

We commenced training in September of this year and within a few weeks we now have a regular group of ten girls training every weekend.

We train on Sunday mornings starting at 10.00 a.m. and finishing at 12.00 noon. We train on the pitches in front of the main clubhouse and have a very high ratio of coaches to players. Qualified coaches presently include a current lady player and former and current male players. We also have significant help from Marlow Ladies players who when available send players to the club to assist in the delivery of some of the sessions.

Girls rugby is broken down into different age groups to the boys and allows for girls to play primarily in two age categories, Under 15's (year 8, 9 and 10) and Under 18's (year 11, 12 and 13).

We offer training at both age group classifications and combine the group for some activities and then split the group into age group category when necessary. This promotes a feeling of team spirit for the girls and enables some of the older, more experienced players to assist in the development of the younger, less experienced players.

The group is still growing in numbers weekly and is looking for new players across the whole age group.
